noon:
Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?
After spending a week with the 6.25āx10ā Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.
I have one of these, 10×6.5 I bought about two months ago for 48 bucks. Itās a billion times better than my old Wacom Bamboo and works like a fuckin dream.
ATTENTION ALL PENNY-PINCHING ART FRIENDS!!!
ooo reblogging this for potential future purchase
oh
Iām definitely thinking of getting one of these, or asking for one for Christmas. āCause as much as I appreciate Ian giving me his old tablet, I think the pen might be on itās last legs. ;~;
Oh my god these start at $25 for a little one.
I would be so okay with a little one.
Reblogging this again because I fucking lost it and donāt want to forget it again.
Relevant to some friendsā interestsā¦ vaultedthewall , trows ā¦
i got mine for $75 including shipping to australia and iāve been using it since 2012 and it still works well today, definitely recommend
reblogging so i can find this if i ever think of buying a new one
Can vouch that these are fantastic. The cord comes loose easy tho, Iāve had to replace two
I had one of these for five years! It did work great. Did. Until it didnāt.
The last few Windows 10 updates, i had trouble getting the tablet to work again after them, until one of the big spring updates left me with a tablet that my OS could not recognize.
IT IS SUPER CHEAP and was very reliable, but be careful buying this tablet because Iām not sure if the UC-Logic drivers for it will get an update any time soon.
(I replaced it with a Huion of similar size, and weāre verry happy together. And good news! The stylus AND NIBS that came with my Monoprice tablet work with the Huion, too. Always more stylii.)
